day spas in North East

The Secret Spa is nestled peacefully within the heart of a stunning rural village.

The building itself was transformed by Mr & Mrs Stoker back in the 1960's. They purchased 17th century farm house and outbuildings & land and gradually transformed them into this quaint little holiday village with spa and fitness suite that you see today. The transformation was done with exquisite attention to detail and a nod to it's history by maintaining all the original wooden beams and features where possible.

There are up to 14 holiday cottages, chalets and houses available to rent on site, sleeping anything from 2-16 guests.

In 1999 Sarah Wilson joined the team and created The Secret Spa, she rents the beauty section from Mr & Mrs Stoker and has shared access of the fitness suite and spa.

The blended businesses have created a healthy footfall with a mix of private members, holiday families, spa days and individual treatment guests

Since opening The Secret Spa, Sarah has gone on to create a multi award winning business both locally and UK wide.
